RE: Newbie solo after learning on a Sim?

Pryne,

Do you have a problem joining a local club? If there are no locals, at least join AMA, practice, practice, & practice some more before trying the real thing. I would put together a SIG LT-40 with an OS-46 and use that as your 1st plane instead of the one you built. Learn with the SIG and then you can enjoy your kit much more. If you do put it in the ground at least it won't be something you spent a lot of hours building. I guess it boils down to you, it would be better for you to find a club and an instructor but maybe you are capable to learn on your own. But don't just think you can get a plane, set up where ever you want and fly.

Be Careful and good luck,

R/C Foolish

And to all of the guys that think they know everything - what goes around comes around!!!!

Now, two months after my first flight, I have solo’d a TT40 H9 twist, and a ¼ scale Edge 540.

Let me get this straight. You won't pay the measly $56 for an AMA membership, yet you'll got fly a 25% scale plane off of a dirt road? You're likely to give all of us a bad name when your number comes up--and it will. Please have the courtesy to consider how your actions might affect others who intend to enjoy the hobby for a very long time to come.

You must go into more detail, im confused? Are you suggesting that mowing down a few alfalfa crops is going to give you a bad name? What exactly are you asserting? The local airfields (in the city) are for example, are very near High school Softball fields, and parks. Oh but its cool if we moe down some kid as long as we got the insurance to pay for it right?

What ever man, id prefer to be near nothing. Esp, busy highways and recreation areas where people congregate, even if it is only the fellow flyers at the field.

Hey, as long as where getting outlandish I suppose I can understand the apathetic egocentric mentality, opinions like this are bore from, it's all gravy crippling someone for the rest of their life as long as the AMA has your back right? Better than driving 15miles out of town to a dirt road any way.

Those kids and their evil dirt roads in the middle of nowhere, they’ll ruin us all I tells ya…
